Eibrot (Swiss Version Of French Toast) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 loaf challah bread, cubed
    cinnamon, to taste
    6 eggs
    1/2 cup half-and-half
    1 1/2 cups milk
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    butter
    vegetable oil
    1/2 cup sugar
    berries (optional)
    whipped cream (optional)
Preparation
    Cube bread into bite size pieces using a serrated knife.
    Dust cubed bread with cinnamon.
    Combine the eggs with the half & half, milk and vanilla.
    Whisk together and pour over the cubed Challah, tossing gently to coat each piece thoroughly, but not break it up into mush.
    Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Cook the Eibrot in the heated skillet (you'll be doing this in several batches) until golden brown all over, tossing gently with a spatula to evenly cook on all sides.
    Once browned, add 1-1/2 tbsp of butter and 1/4 cup of sugar, tossing to coat.
    Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely melted and evenly coating the Eibrot.
    Remove to a serving plate, and repeat with remaning Eibrot.
    Serve with fresh berries (blackberries are particularly delicious!) and a dollop of whipped cream, on the side (optional).
